I just felt as though I would never be happy again, and as if I had fallen into a big black hole.

I absolutely would categorize myself as one of successful professional females. I think you can be successful and still be extremely present in a healthy life.

I went to an ordinary school in New York City with no other actors. I learned to compartmentalise different parts of my life. I was one person at home and then another person at work and for that reason my career didn't challenge my family life.

My mother totally protected me as a model. She took me on every look-see, she was there on the set if I wanted her to be.

Louis Malle was the best filmmaker I've ever worked with. He was such an artist. He was dealing with the theme of innocence and experience.

I have never been skinny. The thing is, I was in an industry where being athletic was not celebrated. I have friends who are supermodels, and I never had that body. I've never been asked to walk in a Versace show. I was doing the covers of the magazines while they were cruising the clothes down the runway, and then they'd bring me the clothes and I'd have to photograph them.

I took my work seriously, but not as a craft. More as a life.
